ICMag with help from Landrace Warden and The Vault is running a NEW contest in November! You can check it here.
Prizes are seeds & forum premium access. Come join in!
yea, i'm not doing it for the free seeds either, i can get lots of clones/seeds etc to, so i don't need them
it was knowing i was being stupid by smoking cigarettes and then reading BOG's story and then realizing that I can quit if I want too.
Its nearly noon now, and so far I've only had two cigarettes> that's great, normally in the morning I'd have 4 or 5 in my first hour awake, today I had half of a cig the first hour... it wasn't easy either... i find i think too much about it. I vaped some bud in my VaporGenie instead... that took the edge off
so Bog, when I've lasted the 3 months or 6 months or whatever length of time I need to quit to get seeds, pass them on to someone you know who needs them and tell them its a gift from GoldenBud the non smoker
Do you smoke much weed BOG, or do you use a Vaporizer instead, I went the vape route because I know a lot of older pot smokers who never smoked cigs but yet they have a whore a bad smokers cough, they cough up lots of flem etc
Those who pass through the third door may pm me for their reward. That just means 3 months tobacco free with intent to stay away from tobacco altogether for the rest of your life. I am happy to reward those deserving to demonstrate the power of karma. The cause and effect in the universe is real so just be nice and watch the good returns in all things.
I do some vaping but my intent is to purchase a couple more vape systems as I have not as yet found the perfect system. The volcano is nice but a bit large and cumbersome with those bags and all. My wish is for a good portable electric vaping unit that really works well and I think I have seen one.
The good thing about pot is that it isn't tobacco and it has some anti carcinogenic properties that seem to prevent it causing cancer even when smoked. Since this hasn't been proven to my satisfaction however you should vape to be safer.
A wet phelmmy cough is better than a dry tobacco smokers cough even though its gross. Smoking pot does have an expectorant effect which is actually good for health but it also dirties your lungs with all the oils and tars. BOG
Just wanted to say good job too all those who have kicked the habit Awesome job Bog you are an inspiration to all . MrsBabba and i have been tobacco free for over 8 years now .... believe me its so awesome to be liberated from my addiction ... please dont give up ppl it is so worth quitting, you will feel so much better
love from the babba family .... stay strong and quit !!!! we love you all
My body only stood it until I was 39. I was told that if I lived no more tobacco. Never have I done what I was told until then. They wanted to help me. *crys*
I just want to help you too in return. Thanks for being so kind to each other.
Perhaps Bill and Ted weren't so silly when they said, "be excellent to each other."
Perhaps they were buddhists. Nam myoho renge kyo means be excellent to each other among other things... BOG
BIG NEWS!! > For me anyway. I haven't had a cigarette since Thursday morning at 9AM! In my world that's incredible. My biggest fear was the first day or two and it hasn't been as rough as I feared. I'm chewing gum in place of smoking, I'm hitting my Volcano and VaporGenie at little more often, but that's all good
Now that two days have gone by I know I can do it, I keep saying to myself everytime I think of having a cigarette, "if I have one what good will it do for me?, what will I get out of it?"... I think I'm more interested now in winning, with the mind set that I'll be happier by not giving in.
My wife hasn't hasn't had a cigarette since Wednesday, its easy for her, she's quit on and off over the years, and said she went back smoking mostly because I was always smoking.
I'm pretty happy about this
I'll post updates as time goes by, have a Good Weekend!!
Y'all can do it . It's been 5 - 6 months fer me (thanx fer encouragment Bog) And feel great . As a result my wife and I are expecting our second child ! I believe me quiting cigs is the reason ! Body is so much healthier and soon the smell will repulse u .Just don't get the idea of " i can have just 1 " There is a huge support network here fer ya so don't be shy . You CAN do it !
You know it is a tough addiction and you can't have any once addicted. Sorry but it is just inviting the devil back in to dinner after throwing him out once.
Make it easy on yourself and face up to the problem and beat it by using a strategy that will work for you. Never give up anything you set as your goal or you will never accomplish anything.
When the horse throws you it is a must that you get back on. Every horseman understands why this is true. In order to be a horseman you must master and control your fear and stay alert. Being able to ride was once akin to driving a car and it meant freedom and mobility.
Being free means not having to pay a gang leader for protection and the tobacco companies are like gangs pedeling poisons legally often with protections from legal suits. The govt's of this world conspire with tobacco companies rather than eliminate them but they pursue us for our closet gardens.
So be free by staying fearless whether it be driving, riding a horse or protecting your health. We can't just be slaves to the gov't and the corporate fascism that rules the world. We must make our own good choices if we are to be free so take the key from your pocket and unhandcuff yourselves from the rocks because the tide is coming in and you will drown.
It need not be so because you are intelligent and you have help. We could be a support group with partners to sponsor or whatever shit you call it. Someone to talk to sometimes maybe so help each other. BOG
BOG i must thank you for starting this thread, i have read every single page and have made the decision to quite smoking. I have been smoking for acouple of years and lately i have been smoking on the heavier side, around a pack a day. That may not seem like much but i am smoking Newports and the fiberglass is killin me, i have asthma and lately i have been really short of breathe, i can't rip my bong as hard as i can. Well i am also a new grower, i had one grow that ended with all males. I now have 7 babys in my closet, and 2 outdoors. well i've been needing motivation to quite smoking, and it seems that growing this fine plant is going to save me. This is the only real motivation i'm recieving, my dad smokes, all of my friends smoke. Almost everyone i know smokes. so i really want to thank you so much for saving me BOG, cuz thats what you have really done. well i am going to keep comming in letting you know my progress, even though i know my decision is final and i will not be purchasing patches or gum either. and all the money i save from buying cigs is going to go towards a 400w hps light. again thank you bog so much, i've read so many of your threads and so many of your posts and you are truely one of the most amazing people i have ever met. and thank you everybody who has quite and shown me its possible.
toke on BOG, you are truely a special man, i only hope to one day meet you possibly next icmag cup, and once i reach my goal and recieve the beans grow them out and share the beans with someone else, maybe save another persons life and help to overgrow this country and this world.
Thanks but I am nothing really... lower than a polecats belly.
You have a goal on the otherhand that you can easily accomplish and it will be one of the most important victories of your life. It will set the stage for accomplishing other goals too because quitting smoking improves your self esteem.
You will be proud of yourself and its ok to gain a few pounds. Once the tobacco clears out you will feel more like taking a nice walk each day. That is a wonderful feeling to have your wind back. BOG
Hell...tomorrow i am off this crap. I'm going to smoke my last 3 cigarettes tonight and tomorrow i won't go buying a new pack. I'm posting this to strenghten the decision i've already made. I've been addicted to tobacco half of my life and now it's time for me to rise up and defend myself against this evil tyranny. It has gone on for too long.
Glorious new life free of this spirit-weakening poison awaits me.
And this one goes out to all tobacco companies ---> I will not ever again support your vile death-dealing business.
